OMG, you guys, thank you for telling me about Ruby! I thought it was going to be a real sob story freak show, but she is downright inspiring. Trust me, I am one jaded mother (in both senses of the word, haha), but I love Ruby! She's smart, funny, and sassy–all things that I aspire to be.

I love how "essited" she is about everything. Adorable!

Thank goodness for the DVR, I can seek out all the Ruby I've been missing and save it up for Wednesdays (my day off) when the kid's in school and the hubby's at work. I'm so essited!
